"A married couple in Nebraska
separated and quarreled as to who
should have their child-a little
girl. To settle the matter the man
took his mother into confidence and
got her to kidnap the child and
take her to Oregon. She stopped
off at Caldwell as a blind. In the
mean time the citizens in Nebraska
got hold of the man, and by means
of gentle persuasion compelled him
to tell the whereabouts of the child.
The result was that an officer ar
rived here Thursday morning and
took the little girl back.
Mr.. A. A. Holcomb came over
from Flint last week, where he has
been working for some time. He
says that the company's mill start
ed up last Saturday, and it GER

the territory. He says that the
Perseverance and Rising Star are
not by any means the best mines
in that camp, but that the Last
Chance, New Comstock, Old Judge,
May Queen, recently located by
him, and several other mines, are
equally as good. He predicts
glorious future for Flint.

Dan Levan has taken the con-

capitalists, who have filed immense
odies of land under this ditch,
ill at once begin to clear and i'm
rove their claims. This is as it
hou1d be. The great curse of

great thing for the country for
capitalists to take up land if they
ill improve it, but if not, as is
ne case with too many of them,
